The Deseret News Article -Trex vs. Vinyl
Over the years CFC has been featured in several news outlets. Here is an example from The Deseret News. This article features why Trex is superior to Vinyl, and also information about the Trex product.
The Deseret News:
"...Cedar Fence Co. makes specialty gates from the composite material that fence [builders ship] around the country with Trex fencing...The fencing looks like wood but is made from recycled hardwood, plastic wrap and shopping bags. Unlike competitive white vinyl fence companies, Trex fencing interlocks one thick board at a time. Each board has a wood graining embossed in it...
The material is rated to withstand winds up to 110 mph and wind gusts up to up to 130 mph and is guaranteed for 25 years, more than twice as long as some vinyl... However, that longer life and durability of Trex put the price at about twice the price as vinyl, Cedar Fence owner Rick Ashcraft said...
Trex fencing doesn't come in white but in three shades of brown and a shade of gray with a variety of gate styles and fence post caps. More colors are in development.
Ashcraft expects to see a ready market in communities where vinyl is banned, such as in The Ranches area in Eagle Mountain.
White vinyl hasn't been allowed in the west Utah County community since its inception several years ago...Only wood fences are allowed. However, Trex fencing matches the requirement exactly...
Installing a Trex fence is easy for the do-it-youselfer...But professional installation is recommended."
